Red Hill heat
The extreme heat yesterday and today caught most of us off guard, including those at the Red Hill Coffee Shop on Foothill and Grove. The air conditioner gave way just as temperatures inched toward 100. Owner Jim Moffatt had it fixed and the diner was back in order today.
One thing that kept Moffatt smiling was the arrival of his residual check from "Jerry Maguire." The part-time actor has played many bit parts in films and television shows throughout the years including the popular Tom Cruise flick. He's been getting residual checks every six months for the last 12 years. The total of this recent check -- $10.
In other heat related news, the strawberry patch across the street from the coffee shop is in full swing. But if this hot weather keeps up, it won't be opened for long. High heat kills the plants. Last year, the farm closed June 1, a month earlier than usual because of the heat. Let's hope we get a mild summer this year for the farm's, and my sanity's, sakes.
